Appraisal
An early to mid-eighteenth century house which was extended in the late nineteenth century, that is a significant addition to the architectural heritage of the area. Its unbounded north elevation to the street is indicative of its antiquity with features such as exposed sash boxes. The later single-storey extension to the south has much larger windows. The sweep walls and cast-iron gates of the main entrance also date from the mid eighteenth century and contribute to the streetscape. The house is a good example of how a building may have layers from several different eras.
